Editorial

Abstract

This is the fourth volume and eighth issue of the journal, Body, Movement and Dance in Psychotherapy, and it is the first issue that Helen Payne, the editorin-chief and founder of the journal, has encouraged other members of the editorial board to undertake tasks for co-ordination, editing and writing of the editorial. It has been decided that, for the next four years, teams of two editors from the editorial board will take turns to write editorials, edit the submissions and co-ordinate the work for the journal. Each team is made up of a Dance Movement Psychotherapist and a Body Psychotherapist. The ‘northern team,’ consisting of Vicky Karkou and Courtenay Young, is based in Edinburgh, Scotland, and has taken the responsibility to edit the next few issues, starting with this one. The ‘southern team,’ Gill Westland and Helen Payne, based in Cambridge and Hertfordshire, respectively, will undertake the tasks involved with future volumes. We are hoping that this new structure of collaboration will offer a slightly different flavour to the journal, coloured by the editorial comments and choices made by the two teams.
